Workshops to focus on horse industry recovery

The Queensland Government will hold meetings throughout the state to help the performance and pleasure horse industry get back on its feet after equine influenza.
The workshops will provide an overview of the horse flu eradication plan and protocols for events.

Kate Mullens from Sport and Recreation Queensland says the sector will be damaged if activities do not resume within the next few months.
"Without the events being conducted in the industry the industry won't continue to build and maintain the participants that they currently have," she said.
The manager of Maryborough Park is due to meet officials from the Department of Primary Industries today to discuss the biosecurity measures for upcoming events.

Pit the Qld DPI did not think about the the rest of the horse industry when they let Qld racing run the control of EI. I suppose we should be eternlly gratefull that now they are a least aware that there are other forms of horse sports other than horse racing and that these also provide huge benifit's to the local communites that they are held in
